Kettle to boil water
At purchased a new SS kettle. When I pick up the kettle I had to be
careful. Many kettle bottom rolled up rims were kinked. On the bottom was the name "REVERE" (Easy pour model) made in China stamped in the stainless steel. I was all excited and anxious to get home to test it. The boiling test were disappointing. On an electrical stove top it took 8 minutes and 50 seconds to bring 1 quart of water to a boil. When pouring boiled water into a cup with the Easy pour "REVERE" the steam burned my hand. My wife tried it with the same result. I then returned it to the store. At customer service the lady asked me why? As I was about to tell them why the lady said you do not have to tell me I know why, It burns your hand when pouring!!

It would be incredibly impractical, not to mention outright dangerous, to use gasoline or diesel as a fuel for cooking stoves. I agree about gasoline, but diesel stoves have been used successfully aboard boats for decades, if not a century. The only problem is they're smoky and smelly. Kerosene is the same but a little cleaner. One could also argue against propane or alcohol stoves for the other dangers they present. Alcohol fires can be put out with water. Propane is fine as long as you use good equipment and keep it in good repair. If it was really so dangerous, boats would be exploding all over the place -- and they aren't. Matt O. |

If it's any help, I have a Le Cruset kettle that I've been quite happy with for many years, both on the boat and off. No seams that I can find, nicely balanced and a nice loud whistle. I'm not offering to sell it, but you might take a look at new ones. :-) |
